Thank you Jeremy for looking into it! Tones, I started to look for an mhtml file to send, but choosing one has me frozen for the present.
Mark, I tried Copycat Markdown and it is a step up from plain text but still looks messy, not the neat formatting of html. I will however use markdown from now on instead of html since you confirmed the bloat and insecurity. Now I just have to find all those bookmarks with html to delete. Thank you all for the info!
